Crew members aboard the amphibious transport dock ship USS New York (LPD 21) man the rails and present honors while passing The World Trade Center (see photo below) and the National September 11 Memorial and Museum as the ship arrives in Manhattan on Sept. 8, 2011.

The crew of New York will participate in numerous events throughout the city honoring the victims and responders from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Aboard are family members of victims and first responders from 9/11, along with the crew and Marines assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment. New York was built with 7.5 tons of steel recovered from Ground Zero.

New York is scheduled to be pierside in Manhattan Sept. 8-9 and will anchor in the Hudson River Sept. 10-12. On Sept. 11, New York will transit from its anchorage in the Hudson River to a location within sight of the World Trade Center.
